Serena
is one of our family's loving and much loved dogs. We took her in when
her old owner didn't want her any more due to her having fur/skin problems. A
few medicated oatmeal baths and some TLC cleared it right up, and she now
lives in her forever home with us.
The lady never said what breed she was, she just basically threw her at me
and locked the door. Serena both sheds and needs haircuts, so we do not know
what her mix may be, probably terrier and something else!
She's a lot better than when we first got her, in every way, not just her
skin! She is happier and more friendly overall. And she even tied for first
place with our other dog at RSPCA million paws walk - Short walk. We are glad
she is happy here with us!
Serena can sit down, shake paws with us, clean her friends ears, is
housebroken and hunts rats. Her favorite toy is a fake rat and she loves to
play a strange game of tug a war with it.
Serena once even averted disaster. One of my sisters had left something
cooking on the stove and forgot about it. I don't have a sense of smell so I
didn't know something was burning, Serena kept pawing and making strange
noises. Serena is a quiet dog and makes very few noises, so this startled me
and immediately got my attention she lead me to the kitchen that was filling
with smoke. Serena had lead me there just in time to to stop it from bursting
into flames.
She is both affectionate and independent. She was a very fussy eater when we
first got her and when she would choose to eat, it hand to be from our hands.
Thankfully we have cured her of this. She no long is a fussy dog or needs to
be feed from hands. She's happy to eat whatever is in her bowl.
There are so many stories I could tell about her but the most important thing
is that she never gives up and is always there for us.
